this makes sense. my daughters brother in law was raised here. we are close with him and the family. At her baby shower, thrown by sister in laws here, the sil's suggessted gift cards. because the kids drove in from several states away and had to have room in the car for a return trip gc made sense. I included one with the quilt. it was a fairly small, mostly family shower of 2 people. the kids stayed for a week and everyone had a great visit. so, I spose different situations make different solutions acceptable
